Saturday morning and I'm out feeding the fish and trying to photograph dragonflies. They're flighty devils and won't sit still long enough for me to focus.
Then out of nowhere, Henry brazenly approaches the waterfall.
Without so much as a by your leave, he waltzes right in and takes a sip or two.
He then turns and exits the other side.
He saunters off into the shade where he will walk through mud and mulch that he will later track into the house. Notice he never lifted his head. I think he thought if he didn't get his face on camera, we wouldn't be able to make a positive i.d. However, his distinctive markings gave him away. We have seen him sit in the center of the fall and lap at the water as it comes over the edge. He can't seem to resist. Any time we let him in the backyard, he ends up in the waterfall. I suppose it is just a matter of time before he takes a flying leap into the actual pond.
